It is word salad, unless you’re a young, underpaid contractor from a country previously colonised by the British or the United States.
How could you possibly judge such a diverse set of outputs? There are thousands of models, that can each be steered/programmed with prompts and with a lot parameter-twiddling, it's always impossible you could say "the chat bots" and give some sort of one-size-fits-all judgement of all LLMs. I think your reply shows a bit of ignorance if that's all you've seen.
Oxford Dictionaries says "word salad" is "a confused or unintelligible mixture of seemingly random words and phrases", and true, I'm no native speaker, but that's not commonly the output I get from LLMs. Sometimes though, some people’s opinions on the internet feel like word salad, but I guess it's hard to distinguish from bait too.
